I lost a 36yo niece to breast cancer today 

All members Please insist your wives children and grand children have a regular breast screen, a little discomfort to ensure a long healthy life.

Damien

Dear Damian,

my condolence to you. Ever it is the saddest moment, when we must say farewell to our nearest realatives.

Thomas

Thanks Thomas She had both breasts removed 2 years ago it moved to her liver the prognosis was 2 weeks to 2 years she married her partner in hospital and within 24hrs developed a blood clot in he lung and passed away.
Not a good start to the year to loose a younger sibling and a niece within a month.
I do have 12 other younger siblings though.

  Not really a hello.
Lost my mother from the same junk.
I am wholehartedly with you Damien

Dear Damien

Sorry to hear of your loss, my condolences to you and your family.

Sad news Damien, my condolences to you and your family...

Having lost my wife Roz to cancer (a brain tumour)  I know what you'll be going through!

Best wishes
Eddy

Thanks one and all for your thoughts much appreciated.

While it's now easy to urge others to take action for prevention I fully appreciate that others will avoid medical procedures like the plague, I used to be one of them. I was diagnosed with a LARGE Pituitary tumor at 42 years of age that started in my teens but as I was scalded with boiling milk at 13 months of age and spent 8 weeks in hospital with skin grafts, for 41 yrs I purposefully avoided Doctors of any kind not now the Tumor was a big wake up.
I'm the other way now, a trip to the Doc will give peace of mind Now or in the future if possible.
